ST. PAUL, Minn.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--VivaQuant, a digital health company with powerful technology to
accurately and efficiently identify and report cardiac arrhythmias, has
received FDA clearance for its RX-1 wearable device.

RX-1 continuously monitors a patient’s ECG as they go about their normal
daily activities, identifies arrhythmias, and communicates the
information to the cloud using a built-in cellular connection. Skilled
staff in a US-based monitoring center review the incoming data and
report clinically important information to the patient’s physician.

RX-1 employs VivaQuant’s patented wavelet-based analytics and embedded
artificial intelligence to extract information more quickly, accurately,
and efficiently than traditional technologies. The result is
high-quality cost-effective arrhythmia monitoring services for patients
with cardiac disease. RX-1 is a small, easy to wear, one-piece device
that can be worn in the shower. It can operate as a mobile cardiac
telemetry device, event recorder, or Holter monitor. VivaQuant’s cardiac
arrhythmia diagnostic products are sold under the Rhythm ExpressTM
brand.

“RX-1 represents a new standard for arrhythmia reporting accuracy,
efficiency, and ECG signal clarity,” says Marina Brockway, PhD,
VivaQuant’s Founder and Chief Technology Officer. “Because ECG clarity
is so good and arrhythmia detection so powerful, we believe that RX-1
will provide faster, higher-quality diagnosis, at a lower cost.”

John Collins, Director of Marketing for the Rhythm Express product line
and former Medtronic CRM product manager adds, “We are extremely excited
to introduce this breakthrough technology and partner with customers who
are striving to improve patient diagnoses and reduce costs. The Rhythm
Express technology and our partnering business model will surely be a
great fit for customers. This is going to be a fun and rewarding product
launch!”

About VivaQuantVivaQuant is a digital health company using
its Rhythm ExpressTM platform to analyze and report
information from continuous ambulatory ECG recordings. We are addressing
two markets, a $750M opportunity to provide Remote Cardiac Monitoring
Services to clinics and hospitals for cardiac arrhythmia assessment and
a $150M opportunity to provide ECG Research Services to the
pharmaceutical and medical device industry to assess cardiac safety and
efficacy. The key enabler of the accuracy and efficiency of Rhythm
Express is our patented (22 issued) MultiDomain Signal Processing (MDSPTM)
wavelet-based analytics. MDSP removes up to 95% of noise in ambulatory
ECGs without distorting morphology, providing superb ECG clarity,
improving arrhythmia detection accuracy, and reducing variability of
cardiac interval measurements. Not only is MDSP accurate, it is
computationally efficient, enabling a two-week battery life in our RX-1
device without a recharge. MDSP development has been supported by $1.7M
in highly-competitive small business grants from the National Institutes
of Health.
